5.6.2 Bench Testing the Starter Relay
1. Using a volt-ohm meter, check the resistances of the electromagnetic coil of the starter relay
by connecting the red positive lead to the ¼” spade and the black negative lead to the metal
body of the relay (Fig. 57).
Resistance
4.9 -
5.9 Ω
2.
Check the function of the start relay by connecting the ¼” spade terminal to the 12V positive
battery terminal. Connect the metal base or body to the negative battery terminal. There
should be a clicking sound as the relay is activated. While the relay remains activated, use
the volt-ohm meter to check continuity between the two lugs (Fig. 58). If there is no continuity
the relay is defective.
There must only be continuity between the battery and starter terminals when the
■
relay is activated.
